- Description
- This paper will demonstrate how the Prostitution Act 2000 (Western Australia) has been detrimental to the health and safety of street-based sex workers in Perth. Many sections of the Act infringe on the rights women who do street sex work as well as the rights of all women in the community. The proposed Prostitution Control Bill 2002 (WA) incorporates the human rights violations contained in the Prostitution Act 2000.

- Description
- Over the last decade, many Indonesian women became involved in political activism, establishing independent groups dedicated to issues of gender equality and human rights. These women's groups, some of which are overtly feminist, were a crucial part of the reformasi movement that ended Suharto's thirty year dictatorship in 1998. Rinaldo wishes to elaborate on the connections between the older state-controlled women's organizations and contemporary women's activism.

- Description
- In June 2002 Australia celebrated the centenary of white women's suffrage. The transformation in women's status in this country, as in most of the western world, has been hard fought for, and won only through the struggles of feminists over several generations. However, there is still much that needs to change for Australian women to achieve the kinds of equality that they have hoped and worked for. Of concern to many feminists and other women is the question of who will fight these remaining battles. Many believe that there is no 'next generation' of Australian feminists and that the women's movement has lost its impetus and influence. This article offers an acknowledgement of the presence of young women in the Australian women's movement and provides some discussion of the old and new challenges that they face. In conclusion, Maddisson argues that older feminists could be working more effectively to provide these young women with much needed support.

- Description
- The author discusses the post-colonial in African women's thought. This article goes deeper into some of the discourses on what African women are doing and have done, and the way such discourses situate African women's movements in specific locations in the global divide. Miguda uses a post-colonial reading of African women's movements to examine some claims and assumptions of western feminism as a discourse in the post-colonial world, how it assembles and deploys African women's movements within the larger paradigm of western discourse and African women's challenges to some of these claims that seek to decentre the dominance of western concepts, ideas and claims in understanding women's struggle in Africa.
